Current Sometimes it doesn’t matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it.

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Bio

Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...

The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.

I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.

I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.

I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.

If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.

Unfortunately yes...however a lot of the decisions were rolled for and so I have a feeling Duck may rage at me and then at my machine for hating him.
An advance is now up. If I have missed anything out you believe I should have addressed please let me know. I am very tired and was trying one rush one out to appease the RPing gods.

EDIT: Also let me know via PM. Cheers.
The Return of the Summer Rays

And so many events have already taken place across the continent that has created more ripples than previously expected. First to note is the poor state that most colonial fleets find themselves in. Whilst most have now landed it will take another season before the first news will arrive back, however initial reports are not good. It seems overcrowding was a very serious problem. Meanwhile the world has not been kind to the greedy expansionism of the Lancian Empire. The first piece of information was the rudely penned, open, letter to Lancia informing the nation that the monopolisation of an entire nation to expand one’s own interests is frowned upon greatly in Parra. It remains a competitive and strong power due to its fierce competition. Mass acquisitions have led to the following sanctions…
-All Lancian Businesses and citizens are outlawed from owning land or businesses within Parra for 2 years.
-All businesses that had any shareholders of Lancian citizenship have been possessed by Parra, a valuation of each business has been given and the total cost was refunded.
-Finally no Lancian goods or raw produce is to be imported into Parra for the next 2 years, even goods from other nations that use Lancian raw materials.
Furthermore for the Lancian nation the people are in a state of disillusion. Whilst flyers on the greatness of the Empire have been handed out and money has been invested into helping those less fortunate the masses feel that the Empire is becoming Despotic in its efforts to gain power, furthermore the nobility are losing faith in the Kaiser to perform his duty in the interests of the people (More specifically the rich). Whilst the stability has not dropped it is close to dropping. Finally mixed news on the Nutr situation, the scout force has been discovered, sent not so long ago into Nutr land. The entire force was found massacred in a large forest. It seemed that they were studied for a long time, left to their own devices whilst being directed away from Nutr military buildings. However with the decleration of war it seemed that the scouts were now a symbol to be used against Lancia. The good news being that the supply lines are now safe, the rear guard action worked to perfection and the paramilitaries are broken as an army like fighting force. However they still remain as guerrilla groups. It is also feared if the rear guard were to return to the fight that the groups would carry on from where they left off.

Good news in Argentaurumia as the DIP begins to disband without even taking the proposition from the government. It seemed a lot of the members were simply conservative masses that were looking for a stronger government that would react as well as find solutions. Many filter back into less extreme conservative causes however a small grass roots group continue the DIP more as a drinking and debating club rather than any real threat. In fact In fact the released documents from Corustaria have led to a greater slide away from the DIP as a new group forms. Simply th Anti-Corustarian Party. This is a very popular movement now that is trying to legally block Corustaria out of the nation entirely. However this has led to a paramilitary group by the same name forming in the nation. It numbers only a few hundred to a thousand men but has friends within the police and has so far gotten away with the attack on Corustarian merchants and, most noticeably, the firebombing of the Corustarian Royal Business Ministry. A black, stripped out pile of rubble remains. Alongside a letter to “The People of Corustaria”. It simply says…
“F*** off and leave our country alone.”

In the Iria Queendom things have turned from bad to worse. The religious groups have responded to the Manifesto of Convocation by burning down a tax office in a remote town. This was followed by the stoning of a number of town halls in other villages. The groups has asked that the Queen head a summet to discuss a way out of the conflict however each group has also, privately, requested that she support their power. Each one desires the banning of the other religions and that the leaders that appear are arrested and executed for their crimes against their respective deities.

Finally the conflict between Futtan and Dkkan has subsided once more. Whilst no truce has been reached the armies are, once again, at a stalemate. The DMZ is being demilitarized, mostly out of the cost to occupy dead land rather than a desire for peace. Each nation is requesting a summit to discuss a future. They also request that Asghard and the United Vanjanan Empire send a representative to keep the peace, as two of the nearby powers.
I would like to apologise for my absence. I have been away with my college and have managed a few PM replies at most. However I am coming back today so I will either have the advance up tonight or tomorrow. Again sorry about the disappearance and I will not let this die. Please hang in there.
The update is about Nutr and soon I will advance the season, with a more in depth update.
The Nutr Situation
The situation in Nutr has deteriorated severely over the past number of weeks. Whilst Nutr was suffering from two extreme parties fighting in the streets both could agree that independence was key to anything. An invasion from a foreign force simply forced the very different groups together. The Lancian Amy marched through with a force to find that eventually the lands they were taking were simply barren and bare. Whole villages had up sticks and moved away. Meanwhile their supply lines were then attacked by the militias that had once fought each other. Casualties are yet unknown as every message that is sent back to Lancia is being intercepted. As far as generals know they are simply trying to take Lancian land. The army would occupy it all but the official Nutr army has encamped and fortified inside the capital, stopping the Lancian onslaught with hastily constructed traps, the city defences and Generals who are experienced in fighting oppressive overlords. Finally a message from Nutr has been delivered to all the other nations in the world.
Nutr is a free and independent nation that has lands ceded from the Lancian Empire as we found their rule oppressive and illegal. Now that the Lancian Empire wants its toy back they do so the only way they know how. With force. We request any aid that other nations can send and call for their international condemnation.
There will be a quick update soon. This will not be me advancing the season just updating events.
As a note i am not having edits in the IC...if you have screwed up...you have screwed up.
The First Spring
The winter snows have passed, crops are now being sowed and the pastures are filled with the young of baby livestock. It has been a good winter and nowhere has suffered more than was prepared for. And coming with the spring is more than just rays of sunshine. News. News of a new world has filtered to the courts around the continent. Already cartographers are delivering maps to their respective ruler/s to inform them of a new world only just discovered. The shape is known but nothing else. The climate, resources and whether or not it is inhabited is still completely unknown. Whilst this has been the biggest news there is other news arriving in the courts. In the Iria Queendom the revolt continues. In a response to recent religious clashes the clergy have roused whole communities into uproar. Gangs of zealots roam the countryside lynching those they deem ‘inferior’. Meanwhile the other religious groups have responded by bombing and assaulting the factories and markets of the Queendom. Whilst the police believed they could handle this at first a number of small armies are rising up and there are worries that a full battle could appear rather than the roaming death squads that are common. In further news in The Holy Kingdom of Mors Et Stercore strikes are taking place to try and eliminate child labour in the nation. This is swiped away as a terrible idea by the aristocracy of The Holy Kingdom of Mors Et Stercore. I other news The Grand Duchy of Argentaurumia the Duchy Isolationist Party, or DIP, are taking to the streets in open defiance of the state as they demand that all foreign culture be removed from their nation. Supporters were heard chanting comments such as ‘Death to the alien!’ during the march and the marches are expected to interfere with all kind of infrastructure as well as factories. And finally a truce between Dkkan and Futtan has broken down as two scouts fired shots in the DMZ. The truce was created in hopes that a permanent solution could be found however after a small skirmish both nations claim the other broke the truce and now the DMZ is being remilitarised by both sides in an attempt to push the other out. Bombardment has begin in both nations.
Okay a quick check list is up for all of yous guys easy access at stats...there is also NPC nations and they each have a very basic because I am tired description. IC post will be coming shortly.
